How durable is our transmission and rear ends
Hey guys I like to run my c32 at my local 1/8th mile drag strip, which is currently running 7.90's. I'm running BFG drag radial's so the car is leaving pretty hard, just wondering if the tranny, and rear ends hold up pretty good in these cars.

That's pretty quick, have you done any 1/4 mile runs yet?

Yes, 7.90's is fast. Didn't you run 7.99 previously? That's almost a full tenth of a second in 1/8 of a mile?

I'm running about 22psi in my drag radials, launching right around 2,000 rpm, as much as the stock convertor will let me. Between leaving at a higher rpm then befor, and realy nice air temp, the car went from between 8.00's my very best being a 7.99, to pretty much staying in the 7.90's. The car also just had a retune from eurocharge because of some slightly high afr's and driven straight to the track, I think the kleemann cams contributed to this not sure. Is snapping axles a common problem for these cars.
I havent ran the car yet in the 1/4, my closest 1/4 mile track is Maryland international raceway.
Oh, and by the way alot of mustang's and camaro's don't like this car at the track

) so it'd be nice to see a few W203 AMGs...looking forward to seeing you there Lenin 
If you are pulling consistant 7.9's in the 1/8th, you really should come. There's only 1 C32 listed on Dragtimes below 8 and the conditions should be really favorable towards putting down some good times
